Thanks Loïc, it's good to have more people helping with the tidying and 
patchwork before a Qt update. 


For context for other developers: implicitly included header files are a 
problem. We all know that from Linux software that assumes that <string.h> 
include <errno.h>, that kind of stuff. Qt has similar deeply-hidden implicitly 
included headers, and some releases pare them down by introducting forward 
declarations. That has annoying fallout all over as the previously implicit 
includes need to be made explicit for software written and released against 
older Qt versions. The fix is harmless with older Qt, while reducing the size 
of the diff when we *do* import Qt 5.15 into the tree. I expect things like 
Telegram to have a release some time down the line that makes these patches 
obsolete again as the new release is done against the latest released Qt.

So thanks again, Loïc, for dealing with this drudge-work.
